ASU Parking Rules and Regulations

Policy

Anyone parking a vehicle on university property in violation of
any section of the ASU Parking Rules and Regulations is subject to citation and/or impoundment/towing.

Parking and Transit Services (PTS) levies and collects all fines
for parking violations in accordance with state law and university
policy, including the provision of due process through a two-tiered
appeal process.

PTS may increase the amount for certain citations to provide a deterrent to repeat offenders. A current accumulation schedule is available at the PTS Web site. Various citations may not be appealed as they are fees for the cost of impoundment and/or storage.

Individual Citation Responsibility

PTS makes the following reasonable presumptions:

The person(s) obtaining a valid ASU permit is responsible for
all citations issued to each vehicle registered to that permit.

If anyone with the same address as the registered owner(s) is
determined to be associated with the university, then the person at
that address is presumed to be the operator of the vehicle
receiving a parking citation and is responsible for said citation.

and/or

The registered owner of a vehicle will be responsible for all
citations issued to that vehicle if no other family member is
determined to be associated with the university.

Manage campus access by citing vehicles parked in violation of
the ASU Parking Rules and Regulations.

Parking citation recipient

Citations are due upon receipt, or must be appealed within the allotted timeframe. Payment may be made using the citation envelope issued with each citation, in person at any campus PTS office, or online.

PTS/Accounts Receivable

Take the steps necessary to collect unpaid citations, after due
process has been provided. Late fees are added to unpaid citations. After 120 days delinquent, unpaid citations are eligible to be turned over to a collections agency.

Definition

Signed or signing

With respect to parking, means that vehicles must be parked only where spaces have been designated and within a legal parking space. The temporary absence of a sign or gate arm at the entrance of a parking area does not indicate free parking or the removal of the parking restrictions for that area. When restrictions are temporarily lifted or altered, PTS makes every attempt to post notices near the affected area(s) or to contact any affected ASU departments or personnel. Notices are also posted on the PTS Web site.
